It would ... be careful not to click on 'Flush' - then they would be gone forever.

In any case, you'd need to check the Terms & Conditions - to find out the recommended maximum size

The LX has a lot of auto as well!

Thanks Algi



I've taken a DNG of the Canary Wharf night shot and processed it to try and get more out of the shadows - what do people think?

Here is the original, processed from the Camera JPEG :







And here's the new version, from the DNG, with increased shadows :

We should clearly be very proud of this long history of successful remote borking.

Thanks for checking them out Smeggy. I dont' know if a humble flash would have much effect on the night shot would it? The exposure was about 15 secs at F11, ISO 100 ... I imagine it would need a fairly powerful lamp to show much? Although, I guess the distance is short.

Or how about VDR - Viewable Dynamic Range?

Thanks for the feedback

Regarding the 'wonky verticals', well, I wasn't really going for total geometric accuracy there , more playing with the effect. It is uncomfortable I guess, but I wanted to get right up close and personal to the building, and with 14mm thats what you get!

I don't have the greatest camera, no but I was very pleased with how the K7 & lenses performed for me that day. I have only used the camera JPEGs for these versions ... there are DNGs also, so I would be able to boost shadow detail if required. It was dark though, so I didn't want to pull up the shadows too unnaturaly. I'll reprocess with the DNGs in future and give it a go.

What an amazing opportunity to photograph such a location - you've found some good viewpoints

All looks great - perhaps a bit difficult to make much assessment between cameras at these web sizes, but you're clearly making the most of the GR and the Pro9 software. I wonder, is shake reduction / IS type sytem desirable for shots from moving aircraft? And what were the shutter speeds - it must be a fine balance to get enough exposure without too much blur from moving over the ground during the exposure.

Managed to get into the City last week for a 'Photography Exclusive' visit. Hit the ground running at London Bridge in the sunshine, heading through the backstreets towards Aldgate, then on to Canary Wharf for some low-light and final night images.

All shot with the K7 - the telephoto images are with the Pentax 'M' 75-150 f4.0 zoom, and the wide angles are the Samyang 14mm f2.8 & Pentax 'A' 28mm f2.8. The daylight shots are all handheld, mostly using 'Catch-in-Focus' technique. The low-light & night shots are tripod mounted using mirror lock-up with remote control.

I call this the '1st collection' because it was a very productive and varied shoot, and there's plenty more to share - just slowly getting through the processing. As always I'd appreciate all comments and thoughts!





























































Thanks for checking them out - Nigel

I'm certainly not part of any megapixel race - I get all I need from the K7, including 100 x 70cm prints from FOTO.com that look exactly the same as my 'web-sized' screen versions.

I don't know what 'interpolatory magic' they may use, but it works with absolutely no degradation. Every shot I upload gets an 'optimal' rating for these large sizes, so there must be plenty of image data for them to work with. So no need for a K3 for me ...

Well, its not all about IQ is it? ... there are quite a few control and configuration features I'd enjoy experimenting with on the K3, thats for sure. It come down to our own personal value assessment in the end.
